I guess it's plausible deniability ... it's sort of the users' responsibility to abide the law. They could use a US server as proxy (forced by the company the person works in for example) but the binaries would end up to him in a country where there are no patents/ not illegal.

lets say i have a licensed mp3 encoder, should i also pay the license for a second different mp3 encoder? i mean, not the software license but the mp3 technology license.

I can't speak for MP3, but with h264 the license is per software unit and not per user. If I buy two decoders, I have to pay two h264 licenses.
I still assume, its the same with every other license you have to buy, because how should the software distributor know if you already have a different software with a license for the format? |

We do have an internal process in place that should prevent issues like this from escalating. Unfortunately, the process broke down and ultimately, I'm responsable for that breakdown. On top of that, I'm afraid to admit that the strikes appeal email address has not been actively monitored for some time so even appeals that were made using the proper channels went ignored.
Therefore, I have rescinded all strikes that ensued from this issue (and ensuing suspensions), with the exception from one personal attack on a member of the moderation team - that I cannot tolerate no matter the circumstances. I'd like to point out though that you shouldn't count on this happening in the future - the 'he started it' excuse does not fly with me, so if you have some grievances with a moderator, you really need to follow the established process (turn to another mod or contact myself or Swede).

It is really sad to see how some people abuse good will. If you don't agree how this forum is being run, by all means, go someplace else. But you cannot dictate how this place should be run, and on top of that, you should have the decency to depart quietly and not leave a trail of destruction and unwanted advertisement for your own place.

The problem is that moderators are allowed to use their powers to intervene in issues related to their own personal activities. This means that a moderator can use their moderator powers to promote their commercial products, as was done here. As long as this isn't stopped, this problem will occur again and again: moderators should simply not be able to use their moderator powers in their own personal disputes. As there doesn't seem to be any hope of this problem being resolved, I am not returning to Doom9. If you want me back, you will have to fix your forum. My suggestion is to start by swapping around the forum moderators so that they no longer moderate forums in which they have a vested commercial interest. But feel free to try some other method if you think it'll be easier or work better. If at any point you believe you have resolved this issue or have a proposal for solving it, and would like me to return, you can email me, poke me on IRC, PM me at doom10, or whatever. P.S. I don't want to run doom10. I'd rather doom9 be fixed. Also, stop deleting my posts.

The point is Neuron2 is a moderator and you're not and the rules are clear on what should and should not be handled on the public forum and where to use PM's. Instead of everybody starting slanging matches which soon get out of hand and are impossible to moderate, it would be easier to do like Doom9 suggested and send PM's to the appropriate people next time. I'm reading here a lot but not posting much - I don't have anything against Neuron2's moderation, he does a hell of a job just filtering out the rule #6 posts and he's always been very helpful with support issues on his products. As he's man enough to admit his mistake (see the edit in post 1), it should be easy enough to bury the hatchet.
Cheers, -jj- |

He posted in a his own thread thread, promoting his own proprietary software, that "anyone who discusses X will be struck". That banning of the topic X had no basis in the rules. Therefore, he was doing so only to protect his own interests. From the rules: Quote:

Furthermore, you are inventing direct quotes that were never made by me. I never posted "anyone who discusses X will be struck". This is a plain and simple fabrication. Last edited by Guest; 5th September 2010 at 19:29. |

If you want to "fix Doom9" why don't you carry on a PM with Doom9, rather than continue this very ugly public feuding? |
